Mushroom patch is a pillow section in the trees visible from the pano lift line. There are some big cliffs in here you wouldn't want to get stuck on. To enter, ski roundhouse until you see a track going uphill into the trees on the skiers left of the run. This track will then force you to hike or walk your skis to get to the top. Once at the top, going skiers left is the easier direction with skiers right having the majority of big cliffs.
Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
